"What are you crying for? We are not dead yet." The officer scolded and threw the starship soldier to the ground.
"Check. How long can the oxygen last?" The officer calmed down and asked another starship soldier.
Probably stunned by the officer's tyrannical methods, the other starship soldier hurriedly replied, "Ideally, there's only one, one and a half, an hour."
"Have you calculated the number of survivors?" The officer touched his face.
"There are 421 people. They are all in the two starships at the front."
The smallest starship had 2,000 people. Their starship was a medium-sized one. It should have had 4,500 to 5,000 people. Now, there were only 400 people left.
Thinking about their comrades who sacrificed themselves, some of the starship soldiers couldn't help but cry. They were lucky that the enemy's main cannon hit the back half and not the front half. If not, none of them would have been able to escape.
The officer's face was dark and hard to read. He beckoned to his confidant and whispered something into his ear. The confidant's face was pale. He moved his mouth, but under the officer's gaze, he could only nod stiffly.
The officer patted his shoulder and then said to the other starship soldiers in the control room, "Send me a distress signal."
This sentence seemed to have given the starship soldiers a bit of hope. The distress signal was finally sent out, but in this vast sea of stars, the probability of encountering an interstellar cruise ship passing by was extremely low.
Time passed slowly. An hour had passed. On the radar, there was only silence. There was no signal at all. Everyone's hope turned to despair. They might really die in this part of the universe and become dust.
When the officer saw that the remaining oxygen on the starship could only last for 30 minutes, his eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He nodded to his confidant secretly.
The confidant saw the look in his superior's eyes and his heart started to beat rapidly. He swallowed his saliva and the hand holding the joystick started to tremble.
If he could, he really didn't want to do this. However, this was his superior's order. He had to do it …
His eyes were red as he looked at the screen. There were close to 400 soldiers in the starship. He suddenly closed his eyes and pushed the joystick to turn off the oxygen supply.
Very soon, someone noticed the changes in the control room. A starship operator shouted in surprise, "Ah, the oxygen in the control room is sufficient." He saw that the time had suddenly elongated from less than half an hour to more than ten hours. This meant that their lives had extended for another ten hours.
His reminder reignited the confidence of the soldiers in the control room. "Could it be that the oxygen system is working again? That's great. " Some of the soldiers on the starship were so emotional that they started crying. Knowing that they still had a chance to live, no one could resist such a pleasant surprise.
An excited starship soldier wanted to tell his friends in the starship this good news. He switched the image to the inside of the cockpit and saw the people inside falling to the ground in pain. Some of them were even pouncing on the door that led to the control room, smashing the door with all their might …
This scene made him jump up abruptly and shout in horror, "Sir, the starship cabin …"
"Bang!" A heavy punch landed on his abdomen, causing him to kneel on the ground in pain, unable to continue speaking.
"Ai 'er Beili, cut off all the images to save energy." The officer stood beside the soldier and ordered coldly.
"Yes, sir." Ai 'er Beili immediately cut off all the images in the starship cabin.
There were about 20 soldiers in the control room. They all looked at their officer with different expressions. Some were enlightened, some were shocked, some were confused, some were frightened, but all of them were the same. They didn't dare to say a word.
"We have to live. Take our 4867 soldiers with you. Even if we have to bear the burden of sin, we have to live. "The officer's cold voice rang in the ears of every soldier.
After about three to four seconds of silence, a soldier suddenly shouted, "Support Captain Ao 'duo."
This shout also woke all the soldiers up. They all shouted together, "Support Captain Ao 'duo."
Only then did Captain Ao 'duo reveal a satisfied expression. He gave Ai' er Beili a look. Ai 'er Beili looked at the soldier kneeling beside the captain and reminded, "Captain, Luo Mo was also panicking due to his concern. That's why he accidentally broke the military discipline. Please forgive him this time."
The captain looked at Luo Mo who was kneeling beside him and snorted coldly. He then waved his hand and signaled Ai 'er Beili to take him away.
Ai 'er Beili immediately went forward and helped Luo Mo up. He brought him to the resting room beside the control room. He sighed and muttered, "Luo Mo, this is a lesson. Remember to control your emotions in the future. The captain hates people who shout the most."
Luo Mo raised his red eyes and revealed a pleading expression, "Major Ai 'er Beili, save them. Please save them!"
Ai 'er Beili revealed a shocked expression, "Luo Mo, what's wrong? What happened? "
"There's no more oxygen in the starship. It must be the captain's doing. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much oxygen in the control room. In order to survive, he made 400 comrades pay with their lives. He's committing a crime. He's committing a crime."
Ai 'er Beili was stunned. His face was filled with shock. Romo grabbed his hand and said, "Major, only you, only you can save them. Stop the captain, please stop the captain."
"But, when the captain's life was extended, didn't you also get an extension of your life? Are you willing to give up the chance to live? "
Luo Mo's face revealed a trace of determination, "If my life is built on the lives of 400 comrades, I'm willing to face death with them with a smile. At least I won't let my heart down …"
Ai 'er Beili patted Luo Mo's shoulder with appreciation, "Luo Mo, you're indeed a brave warrior of Yagulin. I'm proud of you!"
Luo Mo shook his head violently, "No, no, I'm just doing what I should do …" He grabbed the big hand that was strangling his neck and desperately tried to break free. However, Ai 'er Beili was an elite at the peak of refinement. Luo Mo was just a soldier who had just entered the manifestation realm. How could he break free from Ai' er Beili's grasp?
Luo Mo's struggle became weaker and weaker. In the end, he was completely powerless … Ai 'er Beili looked at Luo Mo who was no longer breathing in his hand and sneered, "I couldn't do it at first. I didn't expect you to court death. Even if I wanted to, no one in the control room would be willing to share the oxygen with others … Kid, before you reincarnate, you must remember that your own life is the most important. Everything else is just fleeting clouds."
Ai 'er Beili dragged Luo Mo's body to the garbage disposal in the lounge. He opened the lid and threw Luo Mo's entire body inside. Soon, after the garbage disposal, Luo Mo would be thrown out of the starship and become garbage in space.
Ai 'er Beili walked back to the control room. The captain looked at him and he nodded slightly. Both of them looked at each other and quickly looked away.
The control room was silent. All the soldiers on the starship were closely monitoring the situation around them. Everyone knew that their lifespan had been extended from half an hour to more than ten hours. If no starship or merchant ship passed by this area in these ten hours, they would still be unable to escape death.
Another twenty minutes passed. Suddenly, a soldier on the starship shouted excitedly, "We just received an unknown signal source."
Hearing this, everyone in the control room cheered. The captain's eyes lit up. He immediately said, "Increase the detection range of the signal. The distress signal that is sent once every three minutes will be changed to once every ten seconds."
"Yes, captain!" Everyone started to take action.
Feiyang Ship:
"Monitor, we have captured an unknown signal source." A soldier who was monitoring the signal source immediately reported to his superior.
"Understood. Try your best to capture it." Very quickly, his superior replied.
"Understood." The soldier replied.
"Also, don't call me monitor. Call me team leader. Don't forget." His superior immediately added. They were now a merchant ship. Why should he use the military's name?
"Ah! Understood! " The soldier instantly understood. He immediately replied, "Sob, monitor, please don't give me a demerit. I don't want to be punished when I return from this mission."
In order to atone for his mistake, the soldier tried his best to analyze the signal. Finally, he was able to decipher it quickly. "Squad … Erm, team leader, the signal source has been analyzed. It is a distress signal."
His monitor, oh no, his team leader's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"
In the starry sky, unless a warship or a commercial cruise ship happened to pass by, the probability of such a distress signal being rescued was very high. Under such circumstances, the human countries made a joint declaration that once they encountered a distress signal in the starry sky, whether it was a warship or a commercial cruise ship, regardless of whether they were hostile to each other or not, they had to abandon their prejudices and do their best to search and rescue.
"We are still searching." The soldier said regretfully. The signal source was too blurry. He couldn't determine its exact location.
However, as time passed, the signal source started to become stronger. It seemed like the other party's location was in the direction the ship was heading. Feiyang didn't have to deviate from its original path …
"The location is confirmed. The coordinates are:. The signal's identification number has also been deciphered. It is Yagulin's starship."
The confirmation was passed to the captain of Feiyang. In the captain's room, two people were sitting on the sofa facing each other. On the coffee table, there was a game that was popular in Huaxia ten thousand years ago. It was Chinese chess!
One of them was a man in his forties. He was the manager of Feiyang Ship. He took out a cannon and placed it on the table. "Let's see how your ship is going to escape!"
He looked at the captain who was also in his forties. He looked much more serious and was in deep thought. He casually asked, "Are we really going to save Yagulin's starship?"
"Can we not save it? This is a joint declaration of the human race. If people know that we are going to abandon it, Huaxia will be condemned by the entire human race, "the captain replied calmly.
"If you really don't want to save it, no one will know about it." The manager shook his head. They had been partners for so many years but he still didn't know what the captain was thinking. "Tell me, what are you planning to do?"
The captain shrugged. "What do I have in mind?" After he finished speaking, he took out an elephant and locked the opponent's cannon.
The manager stared at the chess board attentively. He touched the piece he took out and seemed to be thinking about something.
"You want to take advantage of the situation?" The manager seemed to have understood. He looked at his captain and frowned. "The commander wants us to cooperate with the six battle teams. Aren't you creating trouble for them by doing this?"
The captain smiled. "You are thinking too much. The six battle teams might have to thank me. I just gave them some good excuses to get rid of some problematic people. "
Of course, he didn't like those unknown forces treating his Feiyang Ship as their own backyard.
The manager sighed. He knew that his peaceful days were gone. The captain made it sound easy but in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he had to clean up the mess for the captain …
Very quickly, the Feiyang Ship found the broken starship and saved the 25 people in the control room. When the 25 people from Yagulin stepped into the well-equipped and safe Feiyang Ship, some of them even jumped, screamed and cried. After all, they were very lucky to be able to escape death.
Of course, there were a few people from Yagulin who knew the truth. They felt sorry for the 400 soldiers in the starship. If they knew that a cruise ship would pass by within half an hour, they might have taken a gamble. Then, their comrades wouldn't have died in vain.
"Our people went to check the broken starship and found that all the information on it was gone. Yagulin was very careful. They didn't give us any chance to understand them. They destroyed all their information." The manager told the captain the latest news. "However, the soldiers in the two starships didn't die because the starship was hit. It was caused by the lack of oxygen. After a preliminary check, it seems that there was a problem with the oxygen supply system."
The captain paused. "Inform the people who are guarding them to be more careful. If they notice anything strange, they shouldn't capture them. Instead, they should stay away from them."
"What happened?" The captain's order shocked him.
The captain smiled bitterly. "Maybe, I really brought trouble to everyone on the ship."
"Ah?" The captain's words made the supervisor dumbfounded. His captain had never admitted defeat and regretted it.
"Ask them to check the control room. Is there enough oxygen inside?" The captain reminded him.
The manager quickly contacted his subordinates. In the end, he replied with a gloomy face, "They tried their best to restore the optical supercomputer of the Yagulin starship. Although they can't be sure, there should be more than eight hours of oxygen in the control room."
One was lacking in oxygen and the other was full of oxygen. This was enough to prove that there was a problem.
Very quickly, the staff on the Feiyang Ship received an order …
"Guard against Yagulin?" Ling Lan touched her chin. She thought about the message Little Four sent her. It was about the message he got from the optical supercomputer of the Feiyang Ship.
However, before Ling Lan could understand, Little Four sent the follow-up report to Ling Lan. Ling Lan knew why the captain gave this order to the staff. If it was her, she would have given this order too.
